    Michigan Success!

    Nearly 3 years after ditching California and moving to Michigan, I finally sealed the deal on my first whitetail buck. I've had this stud on camera for the past couple years and he finally slipped up. Saw him the night before I stuck him but he never came into range so I rushed home from work...

    Michigan Deer Opener

    Deer season officially opens tomorrow in the great state of Michigan. With my two tags I can take a doe or a spike, and a 4-pt or better. I had a decent 8-pt on camera, just need him to show up when I'm in the stand! Should be an exciting season. The best part is, I'll be hunting about 300 feet...

    First Goose

    So, I know I've been a poor contributor to this site in the last year but I have not had much to add to the SoCal scene. But, after an ill-fated attempt at late goose season early this year (-4 in a foot of snow), I finally sealed the deal. I've wanted a Canada Goose since I started hunting...

    Deer down (doe)

    Shot a doe this am. Finally put the Barnett jackal to work. 28 yards, ran 50, and was all on my property. Needless to say it was a quick morning. Perfect double lung-heart shot. Two inch slice through the heart. Chalk one of my 7 tags down!

    Loving Michigan!

    Well, after almost a year in the great state of Michigan we're truly loving it out here. The area, the people, the wild life; it's all been great. Our little 12 acre spread is situated almost perfectly with corn and soybean fields to the south/southwest that border the property, a creek that...

    Getting it done in Michigan

    Went out this morning for round two of ducking. We managed 4 ducks with my two being a pair mallard drake and hen along with an albino mallard and a hooded merganser. Over all a good day! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

    Moving

    Hey all. A little bit of exciting news. I spent a week in Michigan for a relatives wedding and ended up coming home with a new, better, job there. It's been a tough decision to make, seeing as though I'll be moving away from my family and friends, but it's a smart move to make career wise and...

    New Swag

    SoCal Guided Hunts hooked me up today! Just in time for the dove opener. And maybe a last minute coyote hunt if I can squeeze it in. Awesome stuff!

    Bear skin

    A guy I work with got in touch with me last week about a bear skin his mom found and was going to throw away. She didn't know where she got it, or why it ended up in her shed. He asked me if I wanted it, otherwise it was going to the dump so I told him sure. I was a little leery about it, not...

    Horn Porn- You'll want to sit down...

    Check out this toad. Don't know much about the back story other than it was a governors tag. Found this on another site. This guy can die happy now. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151771595051900.1073741831.401836901899&type=1

    Show us your mounts!

    Since I asked for this section, it's only fitting that I am the first to post in it. So here's a couple of my trophies that I've had immortalized. First one is my first bear, shot in D7 opening morning in 2007. First big game kill too. Awesome cinnamon/blonde sow that DFG aged at 8 years. The...

    What camo do you use?

    Well, it would appear that I'm in the market for some new camouflage this year. My old pair of bib overalls are about to quit and I'm trying to figure out what I want next. What do you guys use/recommend? I'm a fan of the overalls because I can wear shorts or jeans underneath and take them off...

    AR-15 Sling

    Freebie. It was given to me. It's a cheapo sling but if you want it, come get it. One-point style. Adjustable. I just don't want it and I have no idea who makes it.

    Struck Out Swinging...

    Went back out for another coyote hunt this morning. First (and only) stand about 15 minutes in we had a dog start responding. It sounded a ways off so we shut the caller down and let it come in closer. It hung up in a creek, so I called again. It moved closer. This went on for almost 45 minutes...

    Buddy's First Coyote

    I bought a FoxPro wildfire last week and put it to the test this morning. Worked out awesome! Got to stand #1 a little before shooting time. Set up and got ready and then started calling. Heard or saw nothing for the first 10 minutes. Changed the calling sequence and then heard a couple...

    Taxidermy Section

    Maybe we have a taxidermy section? Might be a good place for folks to find taxis or for others to post up their projects or stuff they had mounted.

    http://savagearms.com/firearms/model/Model42 Might be the perfect gun for cottontails, jacks, and raccoons. Bummer the rifle barrel isn't in a larger caliber or it might be a fun varmint gun.

    Current Projects

    So, as if I don't have enough going on with home projects, I've got a few amateur "taxidermy" projects going as well. I've had a colony of beetles for quite a while now. A few months ago, they were finally capable of tackling larger skulls, so I started with a javelina. I've also got my...

    Local Taxidermist

    Anyone have a go-to local taxi they use and recommend? I've got an impressive 50 year old muley rack from a buck my grandpa shot in Utah. He never had it mounted, gave it to my uncle, he used it as a pool towel hanger, and now I got it. They were just going to toss it when I piped up and took it...
